Shootouts Alert: 3 Games That Could Generate Fat Fantasy Totals
- Los Angeles Chargers (+5.5) at Kansas City Chiefs (-5.5) – O/U 48.5
- The Chargers are ranked 32nd in the league in fantasy points allowed to both QBs and WRs, which is good news for Patrick Mahomes and the KC offense.
- Both KC and LA scored under 20 points in Week 6 and should get their offenses back on track this week.
- Austin Ekeler had a dud in his return to health last week but should rebound against KC’s subpar run D.
- Green Bay Packers (-1.5) at Denver Broncos (+1.5) – O/U 44.5
- The Broncos allow a DvPL4Defense Versus Position (Last 4 Games) This is the median number of fantasy points the opponent has allowed to players of the same position. The calculation is based on the opponent's last 4 games. of 33.3 FPsFantasy points to RBs, which bodes well for AJ Dillon. RB1 Jones may be out though (check 90 mins before gametime).
- The Packers aren’t much better against the run, ranking 27th in the NFL in FPsFantasy points allowed to backs.
- While Denver’s D has rebounded from their 70-point dismantling, they’re still allowing 26 points per game across their last three.
- Arizona Cardinals(+8.0) at Seattle Seahawks (-8.0) – O/U 44.5
- Kenneth Walker III could feast against a turnstile Arizona run D that ranks 30th in the league in fantasy points allowed to runners.
- Prior to last week’s loss, Seattle had been averaging 33 points per game across their last three games.
- ARI target leader Marquise Brown will get a chance to break out against a mediocre Seattle secondary.
Contrarian Corner: 3 Under-the-Radar Players to Watch
- Rashee Rice, WR, Kansas City Chiefs, $5,000
- The 72 yards Rice had last week were the most by a KC receiver this season. (Mind-boggling)
- While Travis Kelce is the focal point of the Chiefs offense, this will be his first game this year facing a top ten D in FPsFantasy points allowed to tight ends.
- On the other hand, the Chargers rank dead last in the league in fantasy points given up to wide receivers.
- Darren Waller, TE, New York Giants, $5,000
- The Giants have been pitiful on offense, but Waller has seen his share of opportunities (18 targets across the last two games).
- The tight end has a target share of 20% over his last four games.
- He’ll look to find the back of the endzone for the first time this season with Tyrod Taylor behind center.
- Drake London, WR, Atlanta Falcons, $5,100
- London has had an inconsistent start, but he’s upped his fantasy point total in each of the last four games.
- The Atlanta WR saw 12 targets last week and shredded a bottom-tier Washington D.
- The Buccs have only been marginally better against WRs this season, ranking 25th in points allowed to the position. This is a critical division game for these teams.
Backup Brilliance: 3 Fill-in Players With Splash Potential
- Zach Evans, RB, Los Angeles Rams, $4,000
- With Kyren Williams banged up, Evans is likely to lead the Rams backfield in Week 7.
- The Rams are facing a Pittsburgh D that ranks just 26th in the league in FPsFantasy points given up to opposing runners.
- The rookie runner got some touches in Week 6 so he does have a few reps under his belt.
- Latavius Murray, RB, Buffalo Bills, $4,400
- Murray will eat up the carries left by Damien Harris as the second back in Buffalo.
- The Buffalo backup has a median of 1.5 red zone opportunities across his last four games.
- The Bills could go up big in this one against the Patriots, which may lead to Murray getting more opps.
- Adam Trautman, TE, Denver Broncos, $2,600
- The Denver backup is far from a top option, but with Greg Dulcich out, Trautman’s low price tag limits risk.
- He did manage 5 targets and a TD in his last full game as Denver’s primary tight end back in Week 5.
